| Abstract: | 20 SCHIZOPHRENICS, 20 DEPRESSIVES, AND 20 NORMALS WERE COMPARED ON MEASURES OF FUTURE TIME PERSPECTIVE (COHERENCE AND EXTENSION), TIME PERCEPTION (SHORT AND LONG INTERVALS), AND TIME ORIENTATION. SCHIZOPHRENICS AND DEPRESSIVES DIFFER FROM NORMALS IN TIME PERSPECTIVE EXTENSION AND COHERENCE. SCHIZOPHRENICS SHOW LESS COHERENCE THAN DEPRESSIVES, AND DEPRESSIVES SHOW A MORE CURTAILED FUTURE PERSPECTIVE THAN THE SCHIZOPHRENICS. BOTH GROUPS ESTIMATE TIME LESS ACCURATELY AND ARE LESS FUTURE ORIENTED THAN NORMALS. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
